POLITICAL JoTTTrGs.
what our Reporter See. and Hears.

The April term Of our Circuit Court is
made the occasion Of much political Cos
sip, and has developed several new candi-
dates for the various Offices The published
expenses by the County Treasurer on the
back Of the tax payers bills, of the Sher.
III office, amounting to some S13 600, has
made this Office one OF the most coveted
within the gift of the people, hence the
numerous aspirants. There are, so far.
about twenty aspirants for this office, and
the latest Richmond in the field, we hear
Of and by no means the least, is that of
Mr.. James s. Marriott of the First dis
trict. Mr.. Marriott has never held any
political Office beyond that of magistrate
Of his district He has always been an
earnest and consistent democrat, and
wields considerable influence among his
party friends in the county, and is as de-
serving Of reward at The hands Of his
party as any man we know Of, and would
doubtless make an efficient and deserving
officer
For the office of County Commissioner,
their names are legion; and ii will not be
a difficult matter TO select good and true
men for this most of all-important Office
Of trust. Among the names mentioned is
that Of Mr. John W. Childs of the Eighth
district. Mr.. Childs enjoys the reputa-
ton among his fellow democrats of the
county, as being one of the most upright,
conscientious men in that section of the
county, and would do honor to the office
If elected Several members of the old
board, we learn, will be candidates for re
election SO far as we know they have
served the people well, and their record
is before the public, which is their best re-
commentator. From the present outlook
there Will be no scarcity of candidates for
the places to be filled, and lively times
may be looked for in the ensuing cam
paign. The lines will be tightly drawn
Contrasting delegations may be looked for
from some of the districts, and the nomi-
ting convention will no doubt develop
scenes of former conventions. Mr.. Ban
non will put on his whole armor for the
fight, and will no doubt develop consid
cradle strength. There is considerable
undercurrent at work now among his
lieutenants, which crops out every now
and then, and gives signs of the brewing
storm.
Dr. Wells is foreman worthy of his
steel, and will not be caught mapping
from now henceforth. His sagaciousness
as political worker is well-known, and
on this as we'll as other occasions he will

due advantage of his enemy. But woe be
unto him that falls in his way! This will
doubtless be one of the most interesting
local contests that has taken place in our
county for many years.
There has been no development yet on
the Republican side. They are COOKERS
on in Venice" at present, and are viewing
the field Theis war horses are now out
of the traces and are anxious to get into
harness, and will no doubt work like Tro
jams when the time comes, and take every
advantage of their adversaries. So our
Jelfersonian. Hamiltonian and Jacksonian
democrats will have to look to their lau
rels, else in their factional fights they
might accidentally didn't-go-to doit
slip out, and the other fellow slip in.
